In the late 1700s, wool blankets were so important to comfort and survival that they were used as a form of currency between trappers and Native Americans. Under official license of the historic Hudson's Bay Company, Woolrich retains the authentic 100% wool quality made in England with wool blended from sources in England, Wales, New Zealand, and India. Each type of wool is selected for qualities that help create a water-resistant, soft, warm, and strong final product. The wool is dyed before it is spun and then air and sun-dried to brighten the colors. Available in the famous multicolor stripe - in the 1800s this was referred to as a "chief's blanket" - plus a variety of natural colors. Imported. |
